Unfortunately, that effort did not succeed, and conditions have gotten
worse for them since. The corporations simply fired everyone, knowing
that the NLRB during the Bush misAdministration wouldn't uphold labor
law.

That's really bad news.......and people wonder why some early unions were
forced to deal with organized crime. When you have both the employer and
gov't against you, an an indifferent public, you accept whatever helping
hand is offered.

Hehehe. You think organized crime was in it to help the little guy?
Organized crime got involved with labor unions for two reasons: 1) so they
could get their hands on the millions in union money, and 2) so they could
use the unions to strong-arm corrupt politicians into giving their front
companies (construction, waste disposal, etc) lucrative no-bid contracts.

Harry will of course deny it, but union leaders have been bilking the little
guy forever. That's why today, less than 15% of workers are unionized.
They finally wised up to the fact that their dues were finding its way into
the pockets of corrupt labor leaders.

Do you want to know *why* Harry will deny it? Here's why:
